Get ready for a trip backwards in days gone by, to run over the primitive paths again 
and experience the tragic events I’m gonna tell you. It all happened in the fourteenth century 

when a dreadful calamity, later known as The Black Death, spread and raged over Europe 

and left its mark in the millenary history of mankind. 
Millions of persons, weakened by years of war and famine, died of this horrid disease. 
Survivors and generations to come carried on, haunted with the fear of God 

and the everlasting prophecy of World’s end...

 

 

The Fatal Godsend

Chronicles once buried in forgotten pages
A recollection of old times 

yellowed with ages

Across the Black Sea the plague moves on
Punishment for human sin

World's end fulfilled, the fall of man
The endless fear of transiency

Later on they lived in fear 

of a second coming
The fatal godsend
The endless fear of transiency

God forsook the hamlets falling into ruins
Deathly silence all around 

Infected all within

Loosing the grievous malady 

inside mankind
To get repentance by taking their lives

Plague Spreaders

New civilization crossed the continent
Spreading contagion all over the planet

Outbreaks of sickness carried in the wind
The avenging hand of God sets in

The vile recesses of human nature
Depraved creatures 

bring forth the infestation

Breaking into houses to contaminate
Sharing their sickness with the sane

Plague stricken masses behind the walls
On the edge of a great holocaust 

to purify all

Heavenly curse by the just wrath of God
Army of the rodents ascends the throne

Circle of the Flagellants

In ancient times of decadence
The afflicted ones
Took a journey across the land

Rituals of bizarre
Leather whip to mortify the flesh

Humans deranged by resignation
Brotherhood of flagellants
Ease the minds by the law of scourge
Soothe the pain for sickness

Master of ceremonies
Awaiting the certain loss of life
Instilling sickening beliefs
Into a primitive mankind

The Alchemist

Physician, ordered by God
Beaked helmet to avoid contagion

My mission, find a cure
Their lives in my hands

Molten gold to drink
Powder of emerald to eat

Bathe them in urine, drain their blood
Wiping fecal material on their skin

Practice such unsane remedies
Allowing the malady to move rapidly

Against astronomical forces and earthquakes
My mission, spread the plague
Infect the human race
